Enfield Town v Rothwell Town

(FA Cup 1st Qualifying Round Replay) - Tues 18th September - 7.45 k/o

Boss Ian Jackson says his young side have "nothing to be frightened of" when they go to Enfield Town for their FA Cup first qualifying round replay tonight.

The Bones travel to Essex knowing that the tie must be settled tonight - even if that means extra-time and penalties - with a home tie against Hillingdon Borough of Southern League Division One South & West awaiting the winners.

"I'll be looking for a win tonight because I genuinely feel there was nothing about Enfield that I saw on Saturday which scared me," he said. "We should have won it on goal chances alone and if I was disappointed in anything it was that I don't think anybody in our side had enough belief."

"We dominated them for the first 20 minutes. Then we conceded a bad goal and we looked like a side that was scared of doing something wrong," he said. "In the second half we got more aggressive in our approach and took the game to them by pushing up the field and using the pace of Fazel Koriya and Kevin Byrne up front."

"I think those two really scared them and if we take our game to them again tonight, then they won't be able to live with us. There's no doubting the ability we've got in the side and once they believe in themselves we'll find the consistency we're after."

Jackson also confirmed he would be sticking with the same squad from Saturday for tonight's game which means no recall for Michael Tolton who was a late withdrawal from Saturday's game.

"Everybody has come through from the weekend absolutely fine - so I'll have exactly the same squad as the first game and I'm looking for a similar performance, " he added. "If we can just have a bit more luck in front of goal, then it will be a happy coach back home."

Rothwell from: Smith, Challinor, Brown, Greasley, Sturgess, Flannigan, Sneddon, Purton, Boyle-Chong, March, Byrne, Stead, Bridgeford, Koriya, Richie-Smith, Hyem.
